beauty insider: HOW TO MAKE YOUR LIPSTICK STICK

FOR LIPSTICK THAT STAYS PUT, FOLLOW THIS APPLICATION PLAN…

1. Blot your lips with a tissue to remove any lip balm or moisturiser – the oil will repel the lipstick.

2. Apply your lipstick, then blot again with a one-ply sheet of tissue.

3. Dust your lips with translucent powder to set, then re-apply a second slick of lippie.

+ To stop your lipstick coming off onto your coffee cup or wine glass, discreetly press your tongue to the spot where you’re about to sip and the lipstick won’t stick.

+ Prevent your lipstick from bleeding and creating creases around your mouth, by applying foundation and a bit of concealer to the edges of the lip line, then set with powder. Apply lip liner and lipstick and blot excess with a tissue.

+ Before applying lipstick, blot lips with a tissue to remove any lip balm or moisturiser as the oil will stop lipstick from sticking – or use Lucas’ Papaw Ointment instead of balm as it won’t effect your lipstick.
